Los Angeles - Lauryn Hill, the 23-year-old soul diva who won the hearts of consumers and critics with her debut solo album, has won a record five Grammy awards, including album of the year and best new artist.
With her trophy haul, she broke Carole King's 1971 record for most awards won by a female artist in a single night.
The record and song-of-the-year prizes, the other two closely watched categories, went to My Heart Will Go On, the theme song of the 1997 film Titanic, whose singer was Celine Dion.
In a ceremony again dominated by women performers, artists such as Madonna, Alanis Morissette, Shania Twain and the country newcomers, the Dixie Chicks, also walked away with multiple trophies.
Clannad won the New Age award for their album Land- marks, and the Chieftains won the Traditional Folk Album award for The Long Journey Home.
